Characteristics of Money Market Accounts

By Dennis Durrel

Investing your money could be creepy particularly in this tumultuous economic state. One of the most accepted method to invest your cash is over money market accounts. They are normally a shared fund that you invest in shorter investments.

The target of money market accounts is to invest while reducing the possibility that every single of us have to run into losses due to the market fluctuating. All money market accounts are checked by the SEC, the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The SEC set out policies in the early 1940's that gave out requirements as to how they may be invested. These similar policy state that an investors' money market accounts should have a Weighted Average Maturity less than 90 days, plus that the money must be distributed so that no more than 5% is dedicated to one particular issuer.

One of the most conventional money market accounts securities are short-term bonds, repurchase agreements, or even commercial paper. The SEC has also assured that all securities should be liquid with a steady monetary value.

A good thing concerning money market accounts is that they provide the account holder a high interest rate than an usual bank account. However, it is worth noting that for many money market accounts you might be needed to keep up a minimum balance in your account, plus each of us could only be able to have so many transactions throughout a particular statement period.
